Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 October 2026
The video you select is kept only while it is sped up and handed back to Canva. To run your plan we keep your Canva user and team IDs, your plan and your usage. Card details never reach us. You can delete your data from the panel at any time.
1. Who is responsible
This policy covers Video Speeder (the "App"), an app for Canva, and the Video Speeder pages on obliquex.com. Video Speeder is provided by Cloudit Software Solutions Ltd (company no. 15617138, 67 Knightly Avenue, Cambridge, CB2 0AN, United Kingdom), trading as ObliqueX ("ObliqueX", "we", "us"). We are the controller of your personal data. Contact: videospeeder@obliquex.com.
Canva is not responsible for the App or for how we handle your data. Canva's own handling of your data is described in Canva's privacy policy.
2. What we process, why, and for how long
| Data | Why | Legal basis | Kept until |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canva user ID and team ID | To recognize you and link your plan and usage to you | Contract | You delete your data. If you remove the App, the link to your Canva account is removed (paid plans: when the subscription ends) and the rest of the record is deleted 12 months later |
| Plan, subscription status, billing period dates, extra video balance | To provide your plan | Contract | As above |
| Usage counts (successful and failed videos) | To apply your monthly allowance and limit misuse | Contract; legitimate interest in preventing misuse | 6 months, or earlier if you delete your data |
| Video job records: speed, quality, direction, status, size and length of the result, Canva references to the videos | To process the video, to pick up a job after the panel was closed, and to tell you when a video was already sped up | Contract; legitimate interest for the "already sped up" hint | 90 days, or earlier if you delete your data |
| The video you select | To speed it up | Contract | Only while it is processed |
| The sped up video | To hand it back to Canva | Contract | Deleted as soon as it is added to your design, at most 60 minutes |
| Email address of a paying customer (received from Stripe), Stripe customer and subscription IDs | To link your payment to your plan and to contact you about your subscription | Contract | You delete your data. If you remove the App, the email address is deleted when the link to your Canva account is removed, and the IDs 12 months later |
| Extra video purchases (number of packs, amount) | To add the videos to your balance, and for our accounts | Contract; legal obligation | You delete your data, or 12 months after the link to your Canva account is removed |
| An irreversible digest of your Canva user and team IDs, with that month's usage counts | So that deleting your data or reinstalling does not reset the Free allowance | Legitimate interest in preventing misuse | The end of that calendar month |
| Feedback you send: message, topic, and the panel's context (plan, panel version, platform, last error) | To fix problems and improve the App | Legitimate interest | 12 months after we close the feedback, or earlier if you delete your data |
| Email address you add to feedback (optional) | Only to reply to that message; never for marketing | Consent (you choose to add it) | Together with the feedback |
| Server logs (internal IDs and error codes) | To run and secure the service | Legitimate interest | 7 days |
We also record anonymous technical figures such as codec, resolution and processing time. They are not linked to you, are not personal data, and are kept without a time limit.
"Contract" means the processing is needed to provide the App you asked for. Where we rely on legitimate interest, you can object (section 9).
3. Your video
- When you choose Speed up, the App gets a temporary link to the video from Canva. Our server downloads the video to temporary disk, speeds it up, and deletes the source right after. The link is deleted when the job finishes.
- The sped up video is kept in private storage and is reachable only through links that expire after 5 minutes. It is deleted as soon as it is added to your design, and in any case after 60 minutes.
- Nobody looks at your videos. We do not use them for anything other than processing your request, and we do not sell or share them.
4. Payments
Paid plans and extra videos are paid through Stripe's Managed Payments service, and Link (Sold through Link, LLC, a Stripe company) is the merchant of record. Your card and payment details are entered on Stripe's pages and stay with Stripe and Link; we never receive or store them. Stripe and Link handle the transaction data under the Stripe Privacy Policy, send your receipts and invoices, and keep payment and tax records for as long as the law requires. A Link account may be needed for a subscription.
From Stripe we receive your email address, the Stripe customer and subscription IDs, the plan you bought, the status and dates of your subscription, and the number of extra video packs you bought. We use them to give you the right plan and to contact you about your subscription.
5. Preventing misuse of the Free plan
When you delete your data or remove the App, we keep, until the end of that calendar month, an irreversible keyed digest of your Canva user and team IDs together with that month's usage counts. If the same Canva account comes back in the same month, the Free allowance continues from where it was instead of starting again. The digest cannot be turned back into your IDs. It is deleted when the month ends. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the Free plan from being misused.
6. Feedback
If you use Report a problem, we keep your message and topic with some context from the panel. If you add an email address, we use it only to reply to that message. We never use it for marketing, and the message and email address are never written to our logs.
7. What we do not do
- No analytics, tracking or advertising in the App.
- No cookies on the Video Speeder pages of obliquex.com, and no analytics on them.
- We do not sell or share your personal information.
- We never receive or store your card details.
8. Service providers and transfers
We use these providers to run the App:
- Render: runs the server that processes your video, in Virginia, United States.
- Supabase: database and temporary video storage, in Zurich, Switzerland.
- Stripe and Link: payments, receipts and tax, as described in section 4.
Canva gives the App your Canva user and team IDs when you open it. We are based in the United Kingdom, and your data is processed in the United States and Switzerland. Switzerland is recognized by the European Commission and the United Kingdom as giving adequate protection. For transfers to the United States we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses (and, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) included in our providers' data processing agreements.
9. Your rights
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR or the UK GDPR gives you the right to access your data, to correct it, to have it deleted, to restrict its use, to receive it in a portable form, and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live or work.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to access it, to have it corrected or deleted, and not to be treated differently for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information, as those terms are defined in California law, and we do not use sensitive personal information.
To use any of these rights, write to videospeeder@obliquex.com. We may need to confirm that the request comes from the Canva account it concerns. We answer within one month.
10. Deleting your data
In the App, choose Delete my Video Speeder data. This deletes your plan, usage, job records, extra videos and their purchase records, and your feedback, right away. If you have an active subscription, it ends immediately, without a refund for the rest of the period (see the Terms). Only the monthly digest in section 5 remains until the end of the month, and payment and invoice records remain with Stripe and Link as the law requires.
Removing the App from Canva also removes the link to your Canva account: at once on the Free plan, and when the subscription ends on a paid plan. You can also ask us by email.
11. Security
All traffic is encrypted in transit. Only our server can access the database. Every request from the App carries a token signed by Canva, and you can only see your own jobs and plan.
12. Children
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. Buying a plan requires the legal capacity to enter into a contract where you live, or a parent's or guardian's permission.
13. Changes
If we change this policy, we update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use data we already hold, we will tell you in the App before it applies.
